July 30 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
July 30 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
How many waking hours are there in this day? What will I do with them? Today, this day, is all the time I have to do anything with, so I will use it with care. I will not waste a moment of it worrying about yesterdays; nor will I let a thought of dread for tomorrow cross my mind.
I will use this time for my essential duties, perhaps tackling the hard ones first so I won’t be tempted to “put off until tomorrow.” I will plan some little time for enjoyment and relaxation, and some, even if only ten minutes, for solitary meditation and prayer.
TODAY’S REMINDER
This day belongs to me. I can do wonderful things with it, creative things, including the creation of order in my surroundings and in my mind. Nobody else owns my particular segment of time, so it depends only on me how well I will fill every moment to my satisfaction.
Al-Anon tells me to live one day at a time. This is that day.
“Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.”
